This card used to work fine about 8 months back with HostAP. I have not 
used it since and with HostAP 0.0.3, it just fails to initialize. The 
details are:

Proxim Range LAN DS 8430
Firmware Rev: 0.7.6 (From the label)

No, I have not. It seems that the card (or its internal battery, if 
there is one) is dead. Was wondering if upgrarding the firmware can 
solve the problem?

Thanks a ton for all your help.
